Podcasts about Red Hook Summer

Here comes Spike Lee's takedown of the iPad generation! "Red Hook Summer"! A young boy, devoid of personality other than being an annoying millenial, gets ditched at his grandpa's apartment for the summer. His grandpa is a preacher. WITH A SECRET! Also, Mookie shows up. This is it. There's no more #spikelee film appearances (for now?!?! It'd be rad if he did a cameo in #highest2lowest ), but we've got #dafivebloods coming real quick.

In this episode of the show we are touching base with Spike Lee again and this time we are taking on a double bill of Red Hook Summer and Da Sweet Blood of Jesus. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Red Hook Summer functioning as a spiritual sequel to Do The Right Thing, how it's a dense sermon spanning gentrification, cultural homelessness of working class America, false prophets and the fallacy of American Dream and how it is the most personal film Spike Lee made since the late 90s. We also talk about how Da Sweet Blood of Jesus uses an existing genre movie to take the temperature of American upper classes, how Spike Lee uses the themes of vampirism to discuss greed and detachment and how this movie forms a duet with Red Hook Summer.

Gutsy and nuanced as a vocalist, and an accomplished songwriter, arranger, and pianist as well, Judith Hill is likely the only musician who can cite Elton John, Spike Lee, Prince, and Michael Jackson among those who have sought out her talent. One of the highest-profile background singers of her generation, she got her start in the early 2000s, and in the next decade established a solo career with the soundtrack to Lee's Red Hook Summer (2012). Since making these strides, she has built a discography of increasingly refined and creative albums that includes the Prince-produced Back in Time (2015), followed by Golden Child (2018) and Baby, I'm Hollywood! (2021), all while continuing her work in support of other artists. Hill starred in the Academy Award- and Grammy-winning 20 Feet from Stardom, the documentary film showcasing the under-acknowledged work of backup singers. Judith Hill earned a degree in music composition from Biola University, near her native Los Angeles. During the 2000s, she stockpiled background vocalist credits on releases by the likes of Anastacia, Robbie Williams, Evelyn "Champagne" King, and Rod Stewart. In 2009, she was selected to duet with Michael Jackson on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" during the This Is It concerts, and performed at the King of Pop's memorial service, where she took the spotlight for "Heal the World." During the next few years, Hill continued to work in a background capacity for Elton John, Gregg Allman, and Barry Manilow, to name only a fraction of her connections. Hill co-wrote Iggy Azalea's Jennifer Hudson collaboration "Trouble." "Party Rockers," which Hill wrote and fronted for Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Arrangement, Instruments, and Vocals.

Thomas Jefferson Byrd, who had featured in many prominent films of director Spike Lee, died of gunshot wounds at the age of 70.

Spike Lee has made some 25 feature films and five documentaries in a career devoted to putting the black American experience onscreen. His latest film is Da 5 Bloods. I go back with Spike to his second film, She’s Gotta Have it in 1986, when I took an unknown Spike and the only slightly better known Jim Jarmusch to dinner at El Teddy’s, a bogus Mexican restaurant for SoHo hipsters just south of Canal St. Spike was basically tongue-tied at dinner, but he subsequently found his tongue and set it loose in a few different venues, one of them court-side at the Knicks until he was told to use the customer door, not the team door, this past winter. And in movie theatres, where his best contribution is normalizing the concept of a black American filmmaker putting black actors on screen to speak to the black American community first. Everyone else can listen in and should, but Lee is not a missionary. Spike Lee’s films often situate on the home turf, Brooklyn--like Crooklyn , Red Hook Summer ,

Isiah Whitlock Jr. is a world famous actor whose career in Hollywood and the theater spans over four decades. He is currently appearing in the new Spike Lee film BlackkKlansman and has a new Netflix series, The Good Cop coming out Fall 2018.  You may know Isiah from his popular roles starring in HBO hit series The Wire as Senator Clay Davis or in Veep as General George Maddox.  He has also appeared in several Spike Lee films including 25th Hour, She Hate Me, Red Hook Summer, and Chi-Raq. Whitlock Jr has also made appearances on Cedar Rapids, Law + Order, Cagney + Lacey, Pete's Dragon, Lucky 7 and so much more. Marni sync's up with Isiah about how he went from a football scholarship in college to acting, his love of wine and baseball, working out and exercise fueling him for success, his Kickstarter Campaign and Bobblehead business and famous catch phrase "Sheeeeeeeee-it" and what’s next.

The films of truly outstanding director Spike Lee take a special niche in American cinema. More than that, they especially enrich so-called Black cinema. Lee’s oeuvre includes a great number of films. To mention just some of them: She’s Gotta Have It (1986), Do the Right Thing (1989), Jungle Fever (1991), Malcolm X (1992), He Got Game (1998), Love & Basketball (2000), Bamboozled (2000), Red Hook Summer (2012), finally, his recently released Chi-Raq (2015). This podcast is presented and produced by Tatiana Prorokova a Doctoral Candidate in American Studies at Philipps-University of Marburg, Germany. Lee’s works have received a lot of acclaim from their audience as well as from film critics due to the issues raised by the director and the way these problems are formulated and presented to us. African American director Spike Lee manages to present to America racial problems the country has wallowed in in the most authentic and explicit way. Houston A. Baker, Jr., comments: “Lee’s first films are low-budget, minor masterpieces of cultural undercover work. They find the sleeping or silenced subject and deftly awaken him or her to consciousness of currents that run deep and signify expensively in Black America” (166). The scholar continues, shrewdly pinpointing the peculiarity of Spike Lee’s cinema: “Now, it is not that Lee’s films are devastatingly original, telling us always things we do not know. What is striking about his work is that it is, in fact, so thoroughly grounded in what we all know, but refuse to acknowledge, speak, regret, or change” (167, author’s emphasis). Dan Flory contends that the main goal of Lee’s works is “to make the experience of racism understandable to white audience members who ‘cross over’ and view his films” (40). In this respect, one can even talk about particular types of characters or images created by this director, like, for example, “‘sympathetic racists,’” defined as “[white] characters with whom mainstream audiences readily ally themselves but who embrace racist beliefs and commit racist acts”; or “unsympathetic black characters with whom many audience members might feel little or nothing in common” (40-41). At the same time, Baker singles out another aim that Lee seeks to fulfill in his films: “His [Lee’s] mission is freedom – that monumental and elusive ‘it’ that Black folks have always realized they gotta have” (175). Spike Lee’s new film, Chi-Raq, however, stands out of the long row of Lee’s previous works due to the problems raised as well as the projected urgency of doing something about these issues. The director starts his film reporting shocking details about the death rate in one of America’s largest cities – Chicago. While in its most recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States has lost 2,349 and 4,424 Americans respectively, during the same period, 7, 356 people were murdered in Chicago, which, shockingly displays that it has been safer for Americans in war-torn countries in the Middle East rather than in this American city. Thus, calling Chicago Chi-Raq, Lee claims that it is America’s second Iraq. The film later criticizes U.S. foreign and domestic policy that arguably led to the criminal activity in Chicago. For example, when a priest, being overwhelmed by the numbers and age of the recently killed people, exclaims: “Where was their freedom? Where was their right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” He overtly refers to America’s mission in the Middle East to liberate the oppressed; however, he implicitly argues that while fighting far away, the United States does not notice the growing problems on its own territory, among its own citizens, specifically among “young black males”. The issue is later touched upon again by one of the heroines (Angela Bassett) who openly blames America for what is happening in Chicago: “The U.S. spends money on the Iraqi people – to train them, govern them, help them build an economy.
